What reading level is On Books And Arts book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In England, as you pass from Richard Wilson to Turner, from Hogarth to the elder Leslie, from Reynolds and Romney, even to Etty and James Ward, the break of continuity is never complete ; the elders were in a certain sense the ancestors of the younger men. But in France the incomparable grace of Watteau found no reflec- tion of itself in the powerful brutality of Delacroix. Imagine Corot as the successor of Boucher or Millet's vision of the peasantry succeeding to the suave dream of Prud'hon. Y...et it is with these 166 ON BOOKS AND ARTS juxtapositions' of the essentially incompatible with this momentary joining together of those whom Heaven (or, indeed, the peculiarity of their different genius) has put asunder that we are face to face at Burlington House. Yet, even as it is, there may be a certain interest in the comparison ; and if it is made fairly, the result will be an enhanced appre- ciation of those great masters of the Eighteenth Century, who were French in spirit as well as in name.
